I´m not here to upload a map today guys, neither a project, I´m here to tell ya´ll a story, so, I´ll start.

So to tell how do I ended up making that base, I gotta tell a lot of stuff, let´s start... by the beggining, so, it was late night, the 24th day of december, I was playing a bedrock anarchy server called "artic west", it seemed promising, I found a mate who spoke my native language, and we tried to escape the spawn, it was very griefed, and after some time we met some guys who had some time playing, one was called derc, it lived in my country, and another one called rimc, who is my friend till today...

I stayed in contact with my first friend in the server but after a few days I lost contact with him, I entered the clan of these guys who I had met, they were 6, with me, I know this is pretty dumb but I was there to not losing my position in another clan, of another server called 4b4t, but this clan was much bigger, like 30 players in it´s good times, and so the time went on, I left their base in search of my own and without setting a single foot in the nether (because I hate it) I reached a place that I could finally call... home, it was pretty far away, it was at 25 kilometers from the spawn, and we were doing good, or almost, because some dummies were griefing my friends and they had a constant war with them, so I used my james bond skills to track them to a project of theirs and I organized the clan to loot some really weird and fancy looking structure, anyways, we took stacks of cool stuff, and gave a great step to overcome them, but soon after they spammed withers on the general base and that pretty much demoralized everyone, but after some days it happened that Derc presented me a friend of his, it was pretty nice and after some days she became a member, the thing is... she spoke english, and that was just the beggining, we met more english speakers, and the clan grew bigger, at it´s biggest, it was about 11-13 members, I really don´t remember the exact number.

We had plenty of bases, and mine was doing well, the city of apollo hosted about 5-6 people, not all members of the clan, but it was okay, they knew the rules, and everything was going pretty well, we reconciliated with some griefers who resulted to be cool people, till I met OddDragon, a possibly kid with some serious problems, it was nice first, I let him stay in the town but then he started robbing me.. well the classical stuff, the thing is that he started hacking, being pretentious with people we didnt simpathize, and after a breakup of our clan that divided us in two, he griefed the base, this is a exact replica of that base, the city of apollo, apollo civitatem in latin, there´s a part 2 of that story, if you want to find out what happens next, let me know in the comments :D!.

A nice town - I really like it.
As someone who like to built greecoroman (also a hint - if you build a roman greek mix just call it greecoroman so you're always right and no one can come you stupid with "This isn't Roman - its greek" :D) aswell I am always happy to see those buildings. And I also like it to see more smaller builds as one big one as smallers ones are mostly harder to build as you have less blocks for details. Your arena is clearly the highlight of this city. There is just one thing I do not like that much; you used to much sandstone for my favour - I guess quartzblocks or diorite would do a better job.

During those days I depicted literally what I saw during my trip, when I went to the Parthenon I only saw colors that were too similar to sandstone, but I forgot that it´s a 2000 year old monument and it looked white at some point of it´s history -_- I should have done that, well, if I´m ever gonna do again a thing like this, I´ll take ya´ll advice! thanks dude!

Historian are pretty sure that the ancient temple are very colour; also in red, blue and much more colours. But most of these colour vanishized after 50 years (if not refreshed) so the marble plates were left first - these are mostly white (especially when it was real expensiv marble). This marks the common picture we still have of the greecoroman world. Today - after more than 1500 years - even the marble plates (and yes plates is here the right word) are also damaged gone or similar reason why it is not there anymore. So today there is mostly the sandstone fundament and skelleton wals left. Depending on the sandstone that was use it can look more or less like the minecraft sandstone texture.

Why I am telling this? Because sandstone is not that wrong like it might be sounded in my first words. Stones - and most times sandstones - were used as primary building matieral for important buildings, but they were hidded after build by plates and/or colours. It the same reason why we use wallpapers today. So the question is if you have one block for the wall what block do you take; the one that fits more to the corretly used material or the one that fits more like the otical ways?

yeah... actually, the same was for mesoamerican buildings, the plaster of stucco that covered the facade of the teocallis, pyramids, marketplaces and houses ripped off with the time or the spaniards removed it to be able to collect the stones to make other buildings, they were beautiful buildings, colored with vivid natural colors and gliphs, now it just looks like a bunch of rocks put together in a pyramidal form. At least the lucky pyramids, now the aztec house complexes that remain in my country are pure foundations.
